I recently had the opportunity to witness something truly extraordinary - a group of children performing the hit song "24k Magic" by Bruno Mars. It was a moment that left me in awe of their talent and amazed at the power of music to bring people together. As the children took the stage, there was a buzz of excitement in the air. They were a diverse group, ranging in age from just a few years old to preteens, each with their own unique sense of style and charisma. It was clear from the start that they were ready to give it their all and deliver a performance that would leave a lasting impression. From the moment the music started, it was clear that these children had put in countless hours of practice.
Thoughts: I thought this was the perfect conclusion to The House Witch series. Things build to a head in this book with Daxaria finally heading into war against Troivak. Additionally, Fin must finally confront his fire witch father, Aiden.
Having somehow convinced Lady Annika Jenoure to marry him, all Finlay Ashowan wants to do is settle down, cook some good meals, and enjoy a quiet life in Daxaria.

“Having somehow convinced Lady Annika Jenoure to marry him, all Finlay Ashowan wants to do is settle down, cook some good meals, and enjoy a quiet life in Daxaria. But fate has different plans.
Fin’s father, Aidan Helmer, fire witch and servant of King Matthias of Troivack, has arrived in the kingdom with devastating news: Annika’s brother Charles has been taken prisoner, and the only way his life will be spared is if Annika or Fin goes to plead his case. Given that an attack from Troivack is imminent, there’s no way some trickery isn’t involved in this plot.
Now it’s up to Fin, with the help of his family, friends, and wily kitten familiar, Kraken, to attempt a daring mission of rescue and espionage. But he’ll need to move quickly—because if he can’t find a way to fend off his father and keep Daxaria safe, all his dreams might go up in flames.”
Series Info/Source: This is the third book in the House Witch series. I borrowed a copy of this through Kindle Unlimited.
Thoughts: I thought this was the perfect conclusion to The House Witch series. Things build to a head in this book with Daxaria finally heading into war against Troivak. Additionally, Fin must finally confront his fire witch father, Aiden.
The book switches POV between Fin, Annika, Kraken, the King and others. It all worked very well. There was still a lot of humor and fun in here despite some sadness around how things unfolded around the war.
The characters (and the crazy situations they find themselves in) remain incredibly entertaining. Watching Fin take on huge responsibilities in a very “house witch” way was very fun. Kraken (Fin’s cat familiar) remains a favorite for me as well. Kraken has become quite the organized crime boss working behind the scenes in ways no one could predict.
I really love how the story wraps up and thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. I had been in a bit of a reading slump before this and was thrilled to be able to read something I enjoyed so much.
The writing flows well and is easy to read and engaging. I love how it looks like the story will continue with the next generation after Fin.
My Summary (5/5): Overall I really loved this conclusion to The House Witch series. This is such a wonderful cozy fantasy series full of humor, magic, romance, and intrigue. I loved every moment of it and am looking forward to reading other books by Delemhach in the future.

Reviews for "Young Dancers Steal the Show with their '24k Magic' Routine"
1) John - 2 stars - I was really excited to see a performance of "24k Magic" by children, but unfortunately, I was disappointed. While the kids had enthusiasm and energy, their vocals were clearly lacking. It was hard for me to enjoy the song when the singing was off-key and inconsistent. Additionally, the choreography felt sloppy and uncoordinated. Overall, it seemed like the children were not properly rehearsed, and it showed in their performance. I was expecting more from a group of young performers.
2) Sarah - 3 stars - I appreciate the effort put into performing "24k Magic" by children, but it fell short for me. The vocals, although decent, lacked the dynamics and power that Bruno Mars brings to the original song. The choreography was cute, but I felt that it didn't match the energy of the song. It would have been better if they had taken a different approach or perhaps selected a song that suits their age group. While I applaud their courage to perform on stage, the execution wasn't as enjoyable as I had hoped.
3) Michael - 2 stars - As a fan of Bruno Mars, I was excited to see a children's rendition of "24k Magic." However, I found the performance to be underwhelming. The kids seemed to struggle with the faster-paced sections of the song, and their voices didn't have the same depth and soul as the original. The choreography was cute, but it lacked precision and synchronization. Overall, it felt like a watered-down version of the song that didn't fully capture the essence and energy of the original. I think the children put in effort, but it just didn't hit the mark for me.
4) Emily - 2 stars - Watching the children perform "24k Magic" was disappointing for me. While they showed enthusiasm and confidence on stage, their singing and dancing skills were not up to par. The vocals were pitchy and lacked control, which made it hard for me to enjoy the performance. The choreography was simple and repetitive, and it didn't add anything special to the overall presentation. I think it's great to encourage children to pursue their passions, but this performance fell short in terms of talent and execution.
